Video shows tense encounter

On Friday, TMZ published video provided by a witness who saw Breeland arrested at gunpoint.

The video shows an officer repeatedly telling Breeland to turn around and get on the ground. The officer initially pointed his Taser at Breeland as Breeland remained standing before he eventually pulled his gun when Breelend got back into his car.

Breeland facing multiple misdemeanor charges

Breeland is reportedly facing multiple misdemeanor charges that consist of resisting arrest, the transport of alcohol in motor vehicle with a broken seal, open container of beer or wine in motor vehicle, possession of 28 grams or less of marijuana or 10 grams of hash and driving without a license.

Breeland’s attorneys said on Wednesday that they planned to investigate “why this level of force was necessary.”

“At the time of his encounter with law enforcement, Mr. Breeland was leaving a gas station store after making a lawful purchase. Moments after returning to his vehicle, a 2020 Range Rover with temporary paper tags, law enforcement officers approached Mr. Breeland and drew their weapons.

“We look forward to investigating why this level of force was necessary. Bashaud Breeland is innocent until proven guilty. We look forward to the truth coming forward.”

Breeland played in all 16 regular-season games and started 15 after signing with the Chiefs last season. The six-year NFL veteran caught an interception in Kansas City’s Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers. He signed a one-year, $3 million deal in the offseason to remain with Kansas City.
